Not really practically but yes in theory? The JVM is host to many languages with different paradigms and it is not like I don't futz around with other stuff. I refuse to write serious code in poorly tooled languages and at this point in my career there are also some areas of exploration I just don't care about (e.g. machine level programming with ASM or C/C++ and web dev with JavaScript).

Ah, okay. What I didn't quite get from your original post was that you were talking about professional-level coding. That makes sense, I guess.

To be fair, life is indeed too short to waste it trying to wrangle unusable tools, particularly when potential gains are slim to none.
